It's a good place to feel better about yourself when reading the crap other people are dealing with

I used to come to work and see about a hundred people during the day. Today, there's two of us in the whole building - three if you count the cardboard cutout of Roger Reiney, the founder of Scottrade.

This is turning out to be an interesting day. Somehow my wife took my main set of keys this morning, as well as her own. This means I have no keys to anything but my new forklift. I could hotwire the little blue shop truck, but that isn't registered. So, I decided to work on the flooring more and some welding I am needing to get done for a client. At least it will be a calm day without any traffic...

getting pulled over in an unregistered, hotwired truck sounds pretty fun though

The big rain finally hit here about 30 minutes ago. I would call it frog drowning rain. I just turned the tv on about 5 minutes ago and caught the end of the local news/weather and two counties over has already got over 15 inches today.

Digging this new to me fork lift. It's old but still runs and drives like new!

Nice. It reminded me of Stubby which is what we named our fork lift at Hillside 4x4. Stubby is a '69 model so we painted it orange with the 2 white Camaro stripes that went front to back including through the black bench seat. It also features a custom, polished stainless rear grill with a chrome exhaust tip poking through it from the straight piped gas engine. Along with that, it has piston control lever handles, a pull chain horn off of a early Ford of some kind and of course, original KC Daylighters.

I need to have Brian send me some pics of Stubby because apparently, this is the only one I have and it is just in the background.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot the super awesome ridiculously tiny roll bar that i made for it.
